The problems do not seem to be there all the time.
 
When braking, and almost stopped it feels like the wheels are out of round. Like a flat spot. Also, notice it at higher speeds, but harder to describe.
 
Bought new tires, problem same before and after.

Ask you brake below ~10 MPH, down to fully stopped, late model Toyota and Lexus FWD and F/AWD vehicles will upshift and you will feel a bit of a forward "lurch", feeling as if the brakes released slightly.
 
Is that the feeling you're trying to describe...??
 
These transaxles will do the same thing, upshift, as you coastdown, throttle closed and/or braking, below 40-30 MPH.
 
10-0MPH is often described as being bumped slightly from behind, and 40-30MPH as a "slingshot effect".
